BEARD'S ECLIPSE SINGLE LANTERN SLIDE CARRIER.

The best method of producing Dissolving View effects with a

Single Lantern. For Slides 3} x 3^.

jfrice 10/b' each.

The advantages of this Carrier are that the slides are inserted

and withdrawn from the same side of the Lantern. There is nofinger marking, as the slide need only be held with the finger and

thumb by the corner. The slide can be easily placed in the frameand pushed into position by the plunger or runner, and the slide

already shown is removed by the withdrawing of the plunger, andit is then ready for the next slide. The action of passing one

slide before the one being shown is very pleasing in its effect, andis the nearest approach to dissolving yet obtained with a singlelantern, and the ease and comfort it gives to the operator has

earned for it a great reputation.Also for preventing the usual white disc when the slides are

withdrawn from the Lantern (unless desired).Also a better and more efficient way of passing slides (3^*3$)

in and out of the lantern.This Carrier will suit all existing Lanterns, and without altera-

tion to any part.Centring in any Lantern as effect or mechanical slides in the

usual way.No reaching across or lifting out of groove the usual slide, for

by one movement of the runner (simply drawing out) the used slideis brought to the same side ready to be taken away by the hand.

It is suitable for any Lantern or Lanterns with condensers up

to 4^ inch diameter, and is also suitable for single, double, or triple

0f Lanterns.By this Carrier one operator can exhibit any number of slides

required.It was highly commended by the judges of the Royal Cornwall

Exhibition.Price 10/6 each.

Beard's PatentSelf=Centring Slide Carrier.

The advantages of this form of Carrier is that, no matter what the length

of the lantern photograph or slide is, it becomes automatically centred on

being placed on the brass runner and pushed home. By this means any of

the commercial photographs (English. French, and American) can be used

alternately or successively in the dark with perfect safety, and with infallible

results. Other forms of carriers in the market, when employed for different

size slides, require the operator's careful thought as to which length of slide

preceded the one to be shown, or else were liable to allow the slide to fall

and get broken. ' Price 5/-

Self -centring Carrier, with two metal masks, sliding in a groove im-

mediately behind the photograph, so as to show the exact amount on the screen

with each slide, and thu6 compensate for any little difference in the position

of the mats on the slides. One cushion shape for French and American slides,

and one circular for English, etc. Price 7/6.

The Anti=Halo Self=Centring Carrier.

This Carrier is exactly the same as the one above described, with the

addition of a metal blind or screen that automatically closes and opens the

aperture in the carrier, on removing and inserting the slides. It works at the

same time as the runner that carries the slide.

Price 7/6. Fitted with two Masks, 2/6 extra.

CONDENSING LENSES.All the following Condensers are mounted in Brass Cells with

Screwed Rings and well finished. The Lenses are placed loose

in the cells and kept apart by an inner tube. Broken Lenses can,

therefore, be replaced by anyone.

The

Multifocal " Lantern

Objective.

The Multifocal Objective is 6 inch focus, but with its auxiliarylense of 8 inches can be used for any focus up to 20 inches, pro-viding the Lantern is fitted with extending front draw tubes. Thedefinition is perfectly crisp over the whole field of view.

By this means the operator is provided with all that is requiredfor exhibition in small rooms or large halls, and, as will be seen bythe illustrations, the Multifocal, with its attachment, occupies avery small space in the lanternist's outfits.

The Imperial Telescopic

Portable Screen Elevator.

In placing the Imperial Portable Screen Elevator on the

market, I do so knowing the very great difficulties and obstacles

placed in the way of Exhibitors in raising their sheets in Halls

and Public Buildings where no provision is made for fixing pulleys

or ropes for drawing up the Lantern Sheets.

This Elevator is made and capable of taking any size sheet

from 20 foot square to the smallest size required ; for sheets above

20 foot square, Elevators can be made specially to order. These

Elevators are constructed in a most simple form that any size

sheet can be fixed to the frame and raised to any height desired

without any difficulty whatever by any one person.

A 20 foot Elevator and Screen when packed in its galvanised

iron case, which is used as feet for the frame, measures only

5 foot long by 7 inches square.

The Upright Standards are made of specially drawn stee]

telescopic tubes, the top and bottom poles are made of best pine

fitted with steel ferrules.

To the Telescopic Upright Standards at each joint is fixed a

clamping ring and thumb screw.
